💜 Greetings faery tale lovers!
Posted @withregram • @sereneconneeley April’s topic for our Australian Fairy Tale Society discussions was the Grateful Dead tales, of which there are hundreds of variants. The most well-known is Hans Christian Andersen’s The Travelling Companion, but it’s not the best of them – you can read a huge selection at gutenberg.org/files/39408/39408-h/39408-h.htm… They are strange stories – like most faery tales! – but fascinating, and we had some awesome discussions about the poor man, the good deed, the cursed/evil/witchy/murdering princess, the helpful ghost, the evil sorcerer/wizard/devil, and what can and can’t be redeemed…
💚 February’s fairy tale is Snugglepot and Cuddlepie - and Little Ragged Blossom and Little Obelia - by Australian artist and author May Gibbs. Not only did she gift us these beautiful characters, incredible artworks and magical stories - true Australian classics - but she left the copyright of all her works jointly to the Cerebral Palsy Alliance @cpalliance, and the NSW Society for Crippled Children (now Northcott @northcott_aus), which has helped countless children and adults with disability 💜
Part of the beauty of the Australian Fairy Tale Society is all the wonderfully talented and creative members, from artists and writers to storytellers, singers, performers, seamstresses, academics and so many more - and the magic that happens when they collaborate.
💚 Who’s read our November faery tales? Do you have a favourite?
Hey AFTS members! Last days to submit to the next ezine. Tasty treats and Culinary magic! Closing date Sep 1st.⁠
